[U/C] Re: M2 North-South Motorway
Still not really sure why they didn't put Regency either over or under the motorway instead of the other way around. It would have required a narrower overpass, and would have taken away yet another undulation on the motorway.

We have to thank the doctor who decided to test a lady who presented at Emergency instead of to a COVID test station. We could be in a lot worse situation if it had gone another day or two before the first detection. It is beyond my comprehension why this Doctor has suddenly become a hero just beca...

[U/C] Re: [U/C] Re: M2 North-South Motorway
Why would we want more buses on a motorway? There are trains down south which are much faster then a bus to get into the city. We want to get Adelaide moving not slow it down. Motor Ways are for cars, we don’t need more buses in Adelaide to clog up our road system. Our road system is already clogge...

[U/C] Re: M2 North-South Motorway
Does anyone really get sick from the undulations in T2T and Superway? The Southern Expressway has much bigger hills by following the topography. I don't know why they are on the Superway, but I imagine the trenches are easier to manage stormwater with a few places to pump out from. The Northern Con...

Re: News & Discussion: O-Bahn
I suspect that there would be very few routes that are worth stringing wires for the entire length, so a battery of some kind would be needed. The size would be a function of how quickly it can receive top-up charges at a few powered stops or running under (over) wires in the city. Maybe the big fl...

Re: News & Discussion: O-Bahn
Not quite sure why everyone is so adverse to OH wires in Grenfel street, or any of the main roads the Obahn might traverse. Last time I was in Adelaide I have to say the tram overhead was barely noticeable, amongst a streetscape of high rise and advertising on buildings and assorted street signs and...

Re: News & Discussion: O-Bahn
The bus stop appears to be the concrete pad, and the through lane weaves around the stops. There may even be space for a second bus to line up behind the one at the stop. The total road width looks wider than the Grenfell Street width (99ft/30m) though, which was allocated in the time of horses and...

Re: News & Discussion: O-Bahn
I think a problem with that median setup is that it leaves less space for footpaths and overtaking lanes for buses when the goal should be to make it a more pleasant environment for pedestrians and a faster corridor for public transport. The bus stop appears to be the concrete pad, and the through ...

I'm still not in love with the building, but its is turning out better than I imagined-especially viewed from the angle of Andys photos. It is also creating the start of a nice little cluster on this corner, and if only the whole block on the other side on the Budget corner could get up, that would ...

[U/C] Re: M2 North-South Motorway
When the NS MW is completed, freight on the Melbourne-Perth freight corridor via Adelaide, (regardless if that freight is stopping in Adelaide or passing through), will take the shortest/fastest/most economical route, and that will be the 6KM stretch of Cross Road joining the SE FW to the new NS MW...

Not sure about the arch treatment, it looks a bit cheap, but I guess it might look different in reality? Also as I kee...

The Government exists for you. Governments should only take enough money to spend on things that net improve our lives. If the upgraded road would not give back what we put in, then why build it? I think the road would be great but a new hospital would also be great. Less taxes would be great. Subs...

[U/C] Re: Flinders Rail Link
Is there any need for Seaford to stop at Showgrounds, even at showtime? It's not much of a walk to the south entry from Goodwood. Showgrounds would be well serviced by Belair and Flinders trains surely and those living oiling the Seaford line could just use Goodwood without any need to alter timetab...

Having not been able to get to Adelaide at all this year, can anyone confirm if the paving on the North terrace front footpath of the station and casino entry has been/is being upgraded? The old concrete paving and bitumen surface used to really let down the whole precinct. Also the outside of the s...
